@Jeff, thank you for this video. As a 49 year old, I watched your first run of TM with strong intent. Really appreciate what you doing for the cycling community, especially at our ages. You are awesome and a great inspiration not only for riders but for upcoming Channels. Thank you again for all that you do for this sport!
I seriously got an adrenaline rush watching this. Amazing riding Jeff. I'm only a couple years behind you and would love to get back east to ride that park on my 50th!
Love this place was just here Monday not hitting fort hill but shedding some tech much respect for being 50 I’ve said it once and say it again much respect
When I turned 50 over four and half years ago, I just had goals for the road bike (BTW I reached them)....White Line and that run is a big Nope for me. I will stick to rocky tech and keep my wheels on the ground.....You truly are a BOSS 👍
the white line looks so deadly and fort hill is also super scary. i wouldn't try either one of those but i love watching other good riders like you do these. also i liked the soundtrack for the video
Heading up on Monday to celebrate my 49th. I’m ready to tackle the 1st four features to start! Jeff thank you for last years video and for this one also! Gets me prepped!
Ha, my wife was laughing at me yesterday when I told her I would be riding into my 50's and hopefully even older. It's cool to see you don't loose your edge as you age, I'm currently 32. I appreciate your videos. Keep up the good work. Please come do a clinic/ride down to Alafia State Park or possibly Carter road here in Central Florida!
Amazing, Jeff!!! I admire your courage and talent. When you’re doing those massive jumps, what do you do technique-wise? Do you just ride out the jump (go with the flow) with the high speed you’re going or do you need to shift your body weight somewhat back to keep the bike wheels parallel?
THese jumps are so big that you don't really need to influence the bike too much since the ramps set you up for a good trajectory. Believe it or not, they're SUPER intuitive if you just trust the trail.
I would imagine you must be going about 30-mph or so? That’s the scary part. If you don’t get enough speed, you’ll have major problems! I just started “serious” mountain biking this year at 63-years old and I can get kind of crazy doing technical stuff, jumps and drops, but what you’re doing is nuts, man. Your videos have helped me tremendously! I watch them every day and practice your techniques religiously. Thank you so much for the great videos!!
good day sir .. may i ask .. if what is your fork travel ? which do you prefer ? 120 130 or 140 travel on a hardtail bike .. much appreciated for your reponse ..😇 ride safe and more subs.. 😇
You don't look 50! Definitely a mentor! I thought the riding on the steep cliff (white line) was scary indeed. Lots more distance between rider and earth if a fatal slide happened. At least with the big jumps...you know what can happen and less gravity.... although if you did fall further...more time to get on God's good side and trust Him from that point on. 😇😀
Cathedral Ledge was by far the scariest for me to watch having climbed there, zero chance of survival if you screw it up. The White Line really doesn't look that bad, you could at least roll down a few hundred feet before you die.. Those last few jumps at Fort Hill are way outside my comfort zone, but I think I could build up to it, although I don't where that could happen.
Came here to say the same thing. I cannot watch Jeff’s cathedral ledge video. The first time I watched it I got sick to my stomach hahah! Any mistake there is guaranteed death.
They do look kinda easy but man i aggree there scary as, hope you have your pilots licience ha ha i have dreams were i,m sending a big jump like that and i crap myself and wake up in mid flight .
I honestly don't think I would ever try the White Line--it's way too gnarly and the consequences for a mistake are potentially life and death. Fort Hill is intense, yes, but if you have jumping ability and some cahones you'll be alright.
Yea, Fort Hill is no joke. I am afraid of just looking at the features. I see more people posting videos of these trails, but hardly anyone posts videos on Shist or Cliff Claven. Probably not as sexy to watch.

That bike park looked epic! So much talent and send for a 50 year old. EPIC!🤙🔥
Thanks!
no idea you were so old :D
Awesome video Jeff.. definitely bucket list material!

Thanks John!
the white line looks so deadly and fort hill is also super scary. i wouldn't try either one of those but i love watching other good riders like you do these.
also i liked the soundtrack for the video
The Hans Zimmer score was totally merited. Big scary jumps. I'm going to try to sending at Highland when I come to visit NH for work next month....
Heading up on Monday to celebrate my 49th. I’m ready to tackle the 1st four features to start! Jeff thank you for last years video and for this one also! Gets me prepped!
That last run down Fort Hill felt like I was hitting the jumps with you between the sound and the way the camera was set up. Nice job
Nice riding Jeff. The white line is terrifying to me. I can’t keep the mental demons away even while watching someone else do it!
Love how there is no in between. You make it or death 😂
Welcome to geezerhood! You can race geriatric enduro categories, get an AARP card, and the pain never goes away. Otherwise it's awesome!!
You're 50? Hell yeah man. Keep cranking.

Sickkkk Jeff 🤘
I’m going to be 48 in November, so what you’re saying is there’s still hope for me!
Lots of hope! LOL
You know it's scary when it still looks scary with the GoPro effect. I just turned 49 and yeah, no way.
So good! I wonder how fast you are going on that!
I made a video a couple years ago on the first couple jumps and it was 30+ mph!
@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss yeah that’s cooking while hitting jumps
Amazing skills 👍
Thanks! 👍🏻

What bike are you riding here? Great job!
This is my Reeb Sqweeb set up with a 130 coil in the rear and 160 in the front.
Breathtaking 😳💪🏽
good day sir .. may i ask .. if
what is your fork travel ?
which do you prefer ? 120 130 or 140 travel on a hardtail bike ..
much appreciated for your reponse ..😇
ride safe and more subs.. 😇
I ride a 140mm travel fork on my hardtail. Thanks for subbing!
Holy cow!
Just kinda kept going, those trail builders are dedicated.

True, lol!

Cathedral Ledge wasn't scary because I didn't realize how gnarly it was until after the fact... ignorance is bliss.. lol
Came here to say the same thing. I cannot watch Jeff’s cathedral ledge video. The first time I watched it I got sick to my stomach hahah! Any mistake there is guaranteed death.
"..after turning 50." Wow, sir you look good for after 50, more fit than a 20 year old and the gutz and skill of a fearless 14 year old.
Doesn't always feel like that but thanks!
When are the going to open the lower section after?
Idk I would guess next year
Where is the fort hill jump line please?
Thunder Mountain in Massachusetts
Thunder Mt is so epic
That looked big on video, so it was really big in real life.
i thought you were like 35, when i heard 50 i was so surprised, your amazing dude
kinda surprised you didn't ride the HT haha
I’m gonna!
Fort hill look so smooth tho
50?? Wow dude....you reckon biking has been good to ya??😂🔥🤙
They do look kinda easy but man i aggree there scary as, hope you have your pilots licience ha ha i have dreams were i,m sending a big jump like that and i crap myself and wake up in mid flight .
Yikes!

scary hang time
Siiiick!
The GoPro must have an age effect too… you don’t look 50! Nice riding

I want to look like Jeff when i turn 50, i thought he was 40
Me too!
